North by Northwest Movie Poster

Featured in The Muse: 2024.

Inspiration for this work came from a Film Critique assignment addressing themes and filmmaking techniques in many of Alfred Hitchcock's films.

This work was created as part of a graphic design course by Dan Anderson.

Instructor Details:
Create a 11 x 17 movie poster for a popular or classic movie.

The poster should include images from the movie or related content that is digitally illustrated. I would suggest using photographic images as your template layer and tracing the image in subsequent layers. You may also add effects or manipulation to the images directly.

You are welcome to use Photoshop, Illustrator, or a combination of the two.
Text must include:

1. Movie Title
2. Movie Director
3. Three Actors Names
4. Optional – Quote, review, or tagline.

Preparation must include a mood board with at least (3) examples of illustration styles you may want to use, and at least (3) images that represent key moments or themes from the movie.

Also include a sketch board with at least (3) hand-drawn or digital sketch ideas. Include stylized typography and recognizable imagery so we can get an idea of your full composition.

Final projects should be submitted as high-quality PDF 11x17 images. CMYK color mode.
